Another Cardiologist for Heart Care in the Caro Community

Caro Community Hospital and Covenant HealthCare are pleased to announce that Soheil (Sonny) Assar, DO has joined Drs. Alani and Jundi to increase cardiology services in the Caro community. These Covenant cardiologists are regularly on location at Caro Community Hospital to provide high-quality cardiovascular services for patients in Caro.

“We are excited to be able to offer these cardiology services for the greater Caro area,” commented Marc Augsburger, Caro Community Hospital President and CEO. “We are continually adding services to better serve the community and these cardiology services have certainly helped us do that.”

The Caro community is connected with specialized cardiac services from trusted cardiologists. The benefits of this arrangement include local cardiology office hours, more on-site testing, and inpatient cardiology consultations. In times when patients require more extensive cardiac care, the Covenant cardiologists have the skills to prepare patients for advanced cardiac procedures or surgery, and the connection to additional resources via Covenant HealthCare.
